1956 Map of Chews Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Hastings Natural History Reservation and the Ventana Wilderness Area dominate this section of Monterey County, where high ridges and steep canyons define the landscape. This 1950s data, updated in the early 1980s, reveals a network of remote outposts and family-named landmarks including Cahoon Ranch, Bruce Ranch, and the Mascorini Place. The Chews Ridge Ranger Sta and a nearby Lookout overlook the headwaters of the Carmel River, illustrating the vital role of fire observation and watershed management in this part of the Los Padres National Forest. Local-history interest is found in specific sites like Nason Cabin and the curious label for The Caves (Swimming Pool) along Church Creek. The terrain is traversed by rugged paths such as the Tassajara Trail and the Jamesburg Finch Road, reflecting a time when this backcountry was accessed by a mix of early roads and established pack trails.
